Fauci blocked from testifying about coronavirus response before House panel

The White House has blocked Anthony Fauci, a key member of President Donald Trump’s coronavirus task force, from testifying before the House Appropriations Committee next week, House Democrats said today.

“The Appropriations Committee sought Dr. Anthony Fauci as a witness at next week’s Labor-HHS-Education Subcommittee hearing on COVID-19 response. We have been informed by an administration official that the White House has blocked Dr. Fauci from testifying,” said Evan Hollander, a spokesperson for the House Appropriations Committee.

Instead, appropriators will hear from Tom Frieden, the former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, on Wednesday. Additional witnesses could be announced.
